Microleakage in Class II Composite Restorations with GingivalMargins Placed Entirely Within Dentin: Total Bonding vs Open Sandwich Technique


Abstract in English

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the microleakage on the gingival margin located below the cemento-enamel junction of class II composite restorations (CR ,Tetric-ceram,Vivadent) applied with a 5th generation bonding material (Excite,Vivadent) and to compare it with that seen in open sandwich restorations using a nanoionomer material (OST ,Ketac N100,3M) and a composite material (Tetric-ceram).
